The topic of Power Quality is very broad and covers many 

fields of applications and also many solutions of main circuits 

topologies and control methods for the converters used in 

power conditioning systems. Under the umbrella of Power 

Quality are also different subjects concerned with the analysis 

of the output energy parameters of the voltage and current 

fed inverters. Over thirty papers from this area have 

been submitted in this area. After reviewing twenty of them 

were accepted for presentation. During the oral session 

three papers have been presented (one presentation has not 

been done because the authors were absent). This session 

was chaired jointly by a world famous scientist, prof. Hirofumi 

Akagi (Tokyo Institute of Technology) and prof. Roman Barlik 

(Warsaw University of Technology). Each presentation has 

caused a great interest among the participants who actively 

participated in the question and comments time. The hall 

was full of people among whom there were many students. A 

hot discussion has been held after the official end of the oral 

session. Prof. Akagi was surrounded by participants who 

were interested in the details of his instantaneous active and 

reactive powers theory. Prof. Akagi has done his best to 

answer all the questions connected with one- and three 

phase systems. 

After the end of the Power Quality oral session (from right : Hirofumi 

Akagi, Tarafdar Hague, Rodrigues Limongi, Roman Barlik) 

Additionally, a plenary session, chaired by Prof. Akagi 

(“Modern Active Filters and Traditional Passive Filters”) took 

place. The following papers have been presented during the 

oral session:

Working Group 2 — Components and Converters 

This topic, bearing the same name as the working group, 

contained 34 regular papers divided into three presentation 

forums i.e. lectures session (3 papers) dialog session (24 

papers) and WATAB Sessions (7 papers). It must be noted 

that many papers presented in other topics, especially Power 

Quality and Electric Drive Control, contained significant information 

related to converter topologies. Also, the first Plenary 

Lecture - “State of art and developments of medium voltage 

converters”, presented by Prof. Steffen Bernet (TU Berlin, 

Germany), gave a very impressive picture of state progress 

in development and application of power electronics in high 

energy sector. 

Professor Bernet giving his lecture during the Opening Session 

Firstly, very up to date news about high power switches as 

IGCT and high voltage IGBT’s has been given. Then an 

overview of PWM medium voltage converters was given. 

Also the Plenary Lecture, delivered by Prof Hirofumi Akagi 

(Nakoga University of Technology, Japan) on the last day of 

the conference - “Modern active filters and traditional passive 

filters”, presented a large portion of converter topologies suitable 

for power quality improvement as active filter. Additionally 

two tutorials have been devoted to this subject, namely 

“Tutorial on Matrix Converters” conducted by Prof. Domenico 

Casadei (University of Bologna, Italy) and “Tutorial on Multilevel 

Converters” given by Jose Rodriguez (Technical University 

of Federico Santa Maria, Chile). Both tutorials have provided 

theoretical as well as practical knowledge about topologies, 

classification methods and control ideas. Discussions 

and advantages and disadvantages also took place. The hall 

was full of students during both tutorials.. 

As regards the regular conference meetings, one lecture session 

devoted to converters and components subject was held 

(chaired Dr. Mietek Nowak), containing four, selected most 

interesting papers listed below:

Working Group 3 has prepared an oral session, a poster 

session and a dialog session for this conference. All together 

28 papers. The papers covered a broad spectrum of topics 

from the Intelligent Control and Signal Processing area. 

Professor Stan Żak (Purdue University, USA), a well-known 

scientist in Control and Neural Networks area presented new 

development in the Brain-State-in-a-Box model. One may 

say that almost traditionally his co-author was Stefen Hui 

(San Diego State University, USA) and, less traditionally, a 

Ph.D. student Cheolhwan Oh. There was another paper at 

the poster session corresponding to that subject, presented 

by Krzysztof Starczewski. He applied this theory to spoken 

digits recognition. 

Working Group 3 — Intelligent Control and Signal Processing 

We found highly sophisticated control theory in Professors 

Kirillova (Belarus), Kaczorek and Busłowicz papers. They 

were devoted to optimal real-time control for dynamical sys- 

tems under uncertainty, realization problem for positive multi- 

variable discrete-time systems with delays and robust stabil- 

ity of scalar positive discrete–time linear systems with de- 

lays. Many other topics in control theory, including ob- 

servability (Kociszewski, Trzasko), reachability (Nguyen, 

Kaczorek), digraph theory (Markowski), Linear Matrix Ine- 

qualities (Koziński, Twardy), stability (Busłowicz), switched 

differential linear repetitive processes (Bochniak, Gałkowski, 

Rogers) were also present. 

Two papers from Łódź discussed fuzzy models (Kabziński, 

Jastrzębski), one evolutionary computation applied to pro- 

duction scheduling for heat and power plant from Gdynia 

(Dziedzicki, Śmierzchalski). 

Several interesting contributions came from signal process- 

ing domain. They were devoted to old motion pictures resto- 

ration (Skoneczny), wavelet based techniques for object de- 

tection in robot vision system (Choraś), stereo matching for 

robotics vision (Andrysiak, Choraś), some spectral properties 

of nonlinear transformations (Kubowicz) and others. 

WG3 group contribution could not be completed unless we 

add several other topics including identification (Tarasiewicz, 

Świercz, Kłosiński), SVM networks for organizing data 

(Jurczak), LEGO control (Gąsowski), Hermites polynomials 

in neural networks (Beliczyński), optimal control (Yarmosh) 

and various control practice and algorithms experience 

(Skowronek, Walczak, Kłosiński, Kacerka). 

We have enjoyed a good atmosphere created by the inter- 

esting presenters, their papers, by well organized conference 

framework and the wonderful architecture of the Warsaw 

University of Technology Main Building. 

Working Group 4 — Industrial Information Technology 

It is not so easy to define precisely the area of Industrial Information 

Technology. Information technology is so overwhelming 

these days and it encompasses so many different 

application areas. Therefore, it is justified to say that industrial 

information technology may include such seemingly

remote topics as image processing and recognition, modeling 

and simulation, control, decision support and failure de-

tection to name just a few. This diversity has been reflected 

by a very broad scope of papers submitted to Industrial Information 

Technology track of the PELINCEC 2005 conference. 

Over twenty papers have been submitted in this area. Sixteen 

of them were accepted for presentation. The four most 

interesting papers have been presented during oral session 

(see below) and the rest during the dialog session. The aim 

of the lecture session chaired jointly by Prof. Gaby Neumann 

(Otto von Guericke University of Magdeburg, Germany) and 

Prof. Andrzej Dzieliński (Warsaw University of Technology), 

was to present a sample of those very different subjects 

which may be placed under the umbrella of Industrial Information 

Technology. The paper presented by Dr L. Saganowski 

from University of Technology and Agriculture in 

Bydgoszcz has given the flavor of image processing applications 

in modern technology. Two other papers presented by 

Dr M. Behr from a power distribution company GZE S.A. and 

by Prof, G. Neumann from University of Magdeburg, dealt 

with the use of modeling and simulation techniques in network 

assets management and virtual training environment 

respectively. Finally, the last paper in the session has discussed 

an IT framework for power systems management. 

The session had quite a significant number of attendees who 

took an active part in the questions and comments time.

In addition to the lecture session, a dialog session on Industrial Information 

Technology has been also organized during the conference (see below for a 

detailed list of participants). The areas presented during the session were even 

more diverse. Again, image processing took a prominent position, see papers by 

P. Buczyński, J. Szostakowski, V. Markov and D. Stepanov, and M. Iwanowski. 

Moreover, control engineering has been represented by D. Sierociuk, A. 

Dzieliński, K. Duszczyk, and L. Grzesiak. Some other topics included decision 

making (see paper by R. Lopatka), failure detection in a paper by J. Jirsa and IT 

systems modeling presented in a paper by W. Dąbrowski. Many papers have 

caused a great interest among the participants. The Authors of the papers have 

done their best to answer all the questions, and the time for discussions has by 

far exceeded the allotted time schedule.

Lecture and Dialogue Sessions 

The problems of renewable energy were presented in 4 papers 

during the oral session and 12 papers during the dialogue 

session. The lecture session (Wednesday 19th October, 

chaired by Wlodzimierz Koczara) was mainly devoted to 

the investigation of method and system conversion of energy 

provided by renewable sources for assuring high efficiency 

and high quality of the output power. One paper dealt with 

fuel cell (Tae-Won Lee and others South Korea). Problems 

of grid connection were presented in relation to DC grid 

(S. Sathiakumar and others, Australia) and to AC distorted 

grid voltage (E. Ernest and others, Poland and UK). The concept 

of connection of permanent magnet generator to grid via 

matrix converter using reverse blocking IGBT was delivered 

by M. Pacas (and others, Germany). Hence, the presented 

fields of the lecture session were related to current problems 

developed in world laboratories. 

Prof. D. Casadei and prof. W. Koczara, during the WATAB III Session. 

The dialog session, held on Monday, Ocober 16th and 

chaired by Marcian Cirstea, Patrycjusz Antoniewicz and 

Brtłomiej Ufnalski, covered a very wide spectrum of problems 

such as: 

• Testing of power conditioning of electrical energy using supercapacitors 

(Wodecki and others), (Chłodnicki and others), 

• Modelling and simulation of distributed generation systems 

(Chen and others), (Khalil and others). 

• Double fed induction generators (DFIG) were represented by a 

paper describing brushless version (Levin and others). 

• Photovoltaic were represented by two papers – maximum point 

tracking (Cavalcanti and others) and grid connection problems 

(Farhangi and others) 

• Diagnosis of wind generation sets was represented by one pa- 

per (Jarzyna) 

• Island operation of synchronous and induction generators simu-

lation was provided by one paper (Serban and others). 

Laboratory Tour – Division of Electrical Drives 

The laboratory tours included a visit to research area (PhD, 

MSc thesis and other projects) followed by a trip to the didactic 

laboratory facilities. Professor W. Koczara presented projects 

and laboratory stands developed under his supervision: 

• Design of 40MHz and 200MHz DSP systems based on 

Shark processors and FPGA (project demonstarted by 

PhD students, Mr Bartłomiej Kamiński and Mr Artur 

Krasnodębski) 

• Investigation of method of current reduction of very high 

power induction motor - case transferring from converter 

control to grid connection - using simulation software 

PSIM. (Project demonstrated by PhD student Mr Marcin 

Grzeczkowicz) 

• Direct Voltage Control method of autonomous operation 

variable speed doubly fed induction generator producing 

three phase sinusoidal voltage. (Operation demonstrated 

by Dr Grzegorz Iwański) 

• Three phase four wires neutral point clamped DC/AC 

400Hz converter with low frequency switching and high 

quality output voltage (operation demonstrated by a PhD 

student Mr Bartłomiej Kamiński) 

• Deadbeat controller using hardware based FPGA for 

DC/AC sinusoidal voltage converters (operation presented 

by PhD students – Mr Bartłomiej Kamiński and 

Mr Maciej Borkowski) 

• Variability supply power reduction using reversible converter 

and supercapacitor energy storage. (operation 

presented by PhD student Mr. Grzegorz Wodecki) 

• Power conditioning of the variable speed generation 

system based on axial flux PMG using capacitive energy 

storage bank (operation presented by PhD student Mr. 

Zdzisław Chłodnicki) 

• Sensorless starting of the permanent magnet axial flux 

motor using PIPCRM method (operation presented by 

PhD student Mr. Piotr Jakubowski). 

In the second part of the Electrical Drive Division it was presented 

laboratory facilities for undergraduate and graduate 

as: basic problems of power electronic drives, automatic 

control of drives, power quality, PLC application for industrial 

process control and intelligent building equipment and control 

systems. The possibility of operating the “Fixed frequency 

single phase variable speed generator driven by Diesel 

engine” caused a great interest of the visitors. It is a laboratory 

stand for research and didactic purpose – the system 

is equipped in full visualised monitoring of 7kVA genset. 

Włodzimierz Koczara 


This topic has touched upon a wide range of research fields, 

such as modeling and analysis of diesel engine, fuel cell, 

energy storage systems (chemical batteries, ultra-capacitors, 

super-conductance), power electronics converter and, primarily 

control methods. Over 30 paper have been submitted. 

After the reviewing process 19 papers have been accepted 

for presentation. The oral session was chaired by Professor 

Lech M. Grzesiak (Warsaw Univerity of Technology) and 

Professor Brayima Dakyo (Le Havre University, France). All 

the presentations caused a great interest of the participants. 

After each presentation numerous questions and comments 

have build up a very warm discussion. The dialog session 

was also successful. There was extensive discussion about 

the new technology and control method especially concerning 

artificial intelligent systems and their industrial applications. 

The dialog session was chaired by Alain Berthon 

(L2ES-University of Franche-Come, France), Patrycjusz Antoniewicz 

and Bartłomiej Ufnalski from Warsaw Uniwersity of 

Technology. 

During the oral session four speakers have presented original 

works devoted to selected problems of hybrid energy
